The relationship of the Strange Woman and Woman Wisdom, separate
but inseparable in Proverbs 1-9, is the book's analytic starting
point, becoming a hermeneutical lens for viewing other texts of
strangeness-of gender, ethnicity, sexuality, and cultic activity.
Wisdom and strangeness mark the narratives of Samson and Solomon,
while priestly literature sets strangeness against holiness. Miriam
and Dinah, sisters of cultic eponyms Aaron and Levi, are Israelite
women defiled or unclean, made strange. Priestly and wisdom
constructions of gendered strangeness intersect, illuminating the
ideologies of identity that develop in the postexilic period and
that shape the beginnings of the biblical canon.
